HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, MI -- A 21-month-old girl is in intensive care at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital after a TV fell on her during an apparent accident, authorities said.

The child was in a room at Whispering Pines Apartments in Holland Township with three siblings, the oldest of the children being 4 years old.

Ottawa County Sheriff's Lt. Mark Bennett in a news release said the kids were playing, and the mother had just left the room before hearing a loud crash about 1:15 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 17.

The mother reentered the room to find the TV had fallen from the stand, Bennett said.

Bennett referred to the child's injuries as "significant." She was transported by AMR ambulance to Holland Hospital and later transferred to Helen DeVos Children's Hospital, where she remains in pediatric intensive care.

The incident, which occurred in the 13000 block of Westwood Lane, remains under investigation by the sheriff's department and Child Protective Services.
